He said, “So you might think that I’m only having a good time here, but I’ve been thinking a lot and I also practiced a lot. But honestly speaking being satisfied? Honestly, I can’t say that I’m satisfied. But what’s fortunate is that there weren’t any big mistakes and I could at least enjoy it a little bit. I think that’s a huge relief. Anyway, thanks to you, I was encouraged. I was even more nervous because of you. I got nervous because of what you said. Because I kept seeing the word ‘nervous’. I became like this. Anyway! I wrapped it up well.”
